Hey im looking for an ADSL modem with a broadcom chip. It could be and most likely will be a modem/router combo but i would like it to have a modem only mode.

Wondering if you guys could recommend anything? Im set on a broadcom chip as they tend to hold my line the best.

Was looking at the TP-Link TD-W8960N as one but wondering if other? (:
 
If you do buy the TD-W8960N from Overclockers I'd like to know what revision they have in stock. And how warm the unit operates, as Broadcom seem warmer than other chipsets when I tried other brands a few years back.

Worth looking at WikiDevi as can search for devices with specific chipsets. Although not complete list of what's available on the market.

Scroll down to ADSL/VDSL SoC

If you're looking at getting something very cheap just as a modem you can grab a Speedtouch 546v6 off the 'bay and put that in bridge mode, has the Broadcom chipset you are looking for and is a very common choice.

Otherwise, the 7800N is a great choice for a single unit as chris6273 said.

I've always had a very good experience with the Billion 7800N - SNR Tweaking on ADSL, can be used as a Router with FTTC (Can do 100Mbps via EWAN) and is very stable!

I'd recommend it.

Good WiFi as-well.

+1 for this, Got my parents dodgy internet from and unstable 2mbps to a stable 5mbps with the SNR tweaking. Lots of cool features too like a vpn end point.
 
Also some of the netgears, the 834gt or the 2200N I had those when I was on ADSL for this very reason.
